Re: Wanted to know if it's legal...

I'm not sure if it's illeigal. What do you plan to do it on?


Ask me what I'm doing, wait an hour than roll a die, if it's 4-6, I'm playing Skyrim, if it's 1, I'm eating, if it's 2-3 I'm programming.

If it's a fake download, then it IS illegal.

Maybe if you made it and didn't distribute or anything... like if you made it just to teach yourself something  hmm

It is legal as long as you do not distribute it as another program.

Yeah. I have a Batch file on my computer that requires you to type in a password or else the computer shuts down in 60 seconds. (Telemachus helped me program it  lol )
